Overview

The word CAMIE is an acronym for "Character And Morality In Entertainment". The CAMIE awards were given to films which emphasize character and morality. They were established to "encourage the production and awareness of outstanding, uplifting, and entertaining motion pictures with positive role models for building character, overcoming adversity, correcting unwise choices, strengthening families, living moral lives, and solving life’s problems with integrity and perseverance."{{cite web
